I am appalled at the behavior of certain members of the Dunkirk Common Council. What has happened to civility and common courtesy?
The animosity between the council and the mayor is on display for all to see and read about. Meanwhile, the growth of the city has been put on hold so that they can continue their tirades. No one wants to listen to rational arguments if it goes against what they deem is the best action. There is no discussion, just harsh words and attacks on individuals.
It is no wonder that Rebecca Wurster left. She was the best thing that had happened to the city. She found money for projects and development of the city was wonderful to see. Apparently, those days are gone.

Dunkirk Mayor Wilfred Rosas had someone in mind to replace outgoing develoment director Rebecca Wurster. Without naming the individual, Rosas said the candidate was someone who is qualified and experienced.
On Thursday, however, that individual withdrew his name after Rosas was met with opposition over the potential appointmet from Dunkirk Common Council.
Despite the Dec. 1 meeting where council allowed for walk-in resolutions regarding the $24 million budget which goes against city policy, members would not be as forgiving if Rosas attempted that same maneuver.
Rosas admitted frustration with not being able to have a second Common Council member sponsor the resolution naming the individual. Neither council members Don Williams Jr., James Stoyle or Nancy Nichols would back the proposal that had the support of Martin Bamonto.
